It's patented that way as part of a new federal law. Other parts of this are discussed here:

I'm glad I got my 2024 Bronco when I did. And I'm glad I got it stripped down to the bare minimum. That was my last new vehicle.

There are many reasons why I chose a base model. This was one of them.

I see legal battels for Wrongful Death/Suffering for cases where someone needs to get to the hospital and this type of system doesn't allow them.

IMHO, the only way to stop such systems is to hit the companies that install them where it hurts them the most...... in their wallet.....

That makes no difference in the Bronco. The same telematics system is in every trim. None of the scary features talked about in the video are in any of them yet, but your driving data can be reported in various amounts (including to insurance companies) depending on what options are toggled on your menu.

I hear ya! I have everything I can turned off but I am no where near naive.

If you are trying to get away from telemetrics you will have to disable any type of wireless communication with your car, BT not included. Your car will still collect them but it won't be broadcasted out.

Telemetrics are what made some people billionaires and some billionaires ultra billionaires, its metaphorically the gold rush of the current computer age. Apple unlocked this capability really early, only they only used it for their own products. When they saw Google unlock theirs and establish all sorts of things such as advertising packages that uses telemetric Apple jumped on board.

Currently, literally anything that can connect to the internet is going to collect telemetrics on you somehow.

I can see a future Supreme Court argument that the telematics agreement itself is a violation of the 4th, nullifying the agreement outright.

This has truly become ridiculous. Our tech sector is so out of control now it is actually quite scary, and it's all happening right before our eyes with data centers being built to store that information, phones that listen to us regardless if you're using them, flok cameras, etc... And to think, we got upset a decade ago over some meta-data abuse of the Patriot Act.

The tech lawyers will have a fairly simple argument to make at the SCOTUS case you envision: no one’s forcing anyone to buy a smartphone, or a connected vehicle, or to accept the terms of service that come with such a purchase. You’re volunteering by using. Maybe connectedness will become less popular. Maybe there will be an anti-tech backlash. I’d like that, personally. Wouldn’t bet on it tho.

The Bill of Rights only limits what the government can do to you. By buying a private product you are consenting to whatever comes along with that. The 4th Amendment doesn't apply.
